He was described by Diego Maradona as the "Argentine prophet for the 21st century.Tévez was raised in the humble neighborhood of Ejército de Los Andes, better known as "FuerteApache." It was from there where he got the nickname of "Apache." His parents changed his surname to his mother's during a conflict between his junior club All Boys and Boca Juniors

(born 20 May 1982 in Plzeň, Czechoslovakia, now Czech Republic) is a Czech international football goalkeeper who is currently contracted to English Premier League football club Chelsea F.C., for whom he has played since July 2004. Petr Čech has previously played for Viktoria Plzeň, Chmel Blšany, Sparta Prague, and Rennes. He was voted into the all-star team of Euro 2004 after helping his country reach the semi-finals.[1] Cech also received the individual award of Best Goalkeeper in the 2004–2005 and 2006–2007 seasons of the UEFA Champions League. In addition, he was named in the FIFPro and UEFA Champions League teams of the season in 2006.

He currently holds three records: a Czech professional league record of not conceding a goal in 855 competitive minutes, an English Premiership record of not conceding a goal in 1,025 minutes, and the most clean sheets accomplished in a single Premier League season (25), set during Chelsea's 2004–05 title-winning campaign. He also has a club record at his former team Sparta Praha, having gone 928 minutes unbeaten in all competitions in 2001–2002, when his unbeaten run in Czech league competition was combined with his performances in the UEFA Champions League.

He won’t have heard of him, but Avram Grant - or Average Grant, as his players call him - is earning a reputation as the footballing equivalent of cricket’s Graeme Hick. A flat-track bully. Under Grant’s minimalist management, Chelsea routinely make short work of the likes of Derby [6-1], West Ham [4-0] and Manchester City [6-0], but fall short in the big games, such as the Carling Cup final, where they lost to Spurs, and in top-of-the-table combat with Arsenal [0-1] and Manchester United [0-2].

In the Premier League, Chelsea are unbeaten in 13 matches since their defeat at the Emirates on December 16, and dogged tenacity has brought them back into the title race after they had seemed to be out of it three weeks ago. Grant, however, needs to start winning the big ones, beginning at home to Arsenal this afternoon, if his team are to overhaul the top two, and if he is not forever to be compared unfavourably with his chalk-and-cheese predecessor, Jose Mourinho.

In the second half of the season the feeling has grown that Grant’s management is as dour and uninspiring as his lugubrious mien, and that he says so little because he has so little to say. The CV he brought to the job was modest, at best, and the players were unimpressed and in show-us-your-medals mode from day one. Grant’s behaviour at the Carling Cup final, when he made no attempt to rally Chelsea before extra time, shocked his employers and disappointed all concerned. His team selection and substitutions that day, and throughout the season, have been in stark contrast to Mourinho’s clever rotation and habit of transforming games with radical changes of personnel.

Michael Essien (born December 3, 1982 in Ghana) is a Ghanaian International footballer. He currently plays for Chelsea in the English Premier League. He is a central midfielder and plays as a deep-lying playmaker for the Black Stars, the Ghana national football team.

Club careerBorn in Accra to Ghanaian parents Aba Gyandoh and James Essien, Essien began his career in a local club in his native Ghana, called Liberty Professionals FC after graduating from St Augustine College. He broke through when he played in the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship in New Zealand.[1] This led to considerable attention from European scouts.

SC Bastia

In July 2000, French club SC Bastia signed Essien. At Bastia, he did not command a regular place in the team, playing at right back, left back and in central defence. Then because of an injury to one of his teammates, he was given a temporary opportunity to play in central midfield. Essien flourished in this new role. Soon he was compared to Frenchman Patrick Vieira because of his ability to go from box to box. In 2002/2003 season he helped Bastia qualify for the UEFA Cup. He scored six goals that season. He became physically stronger and a harder tackler. Soon Paris Saint-Germain, Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille made offers for him. He was not only popular in France, but also in England. Both major Merseyside teams, Liverpool and Everton, made offers for him.take of wikipedia.org
